Being a moral person often requires mental and physical capacity. By this, I mean that moral choices rarely present themselves as simple levers to pull. The "moral" choice requires effortful action, and comes with a cost. For example, remembering a friend's birthday requires good time management, awareness, and ability to take a meaningful action on it (e.g. get them a gift). Taking care of some household chore you committed to means planning, physical energy management, and task prioritization. Keeping in close contact with family means regular communication & making intentional effort to maintain a connection. Staying engaged during a partner's family Christmas party means exercising patience, attentional control, and emotional management. Donating to an effective charity requires intentional career planning and careful budgeting. Repeat this across your whole life (family, friends, work, society), and the cost in effort adds up. Given the above, I think that [[Becoming a more effective person is a key way to improve your character and moral fabric]]. Inaction is insufficient. This can take the form of - Optimizing health and energy - Improving personal organizational systems - Developing strong emotional awareness and self-regulation
